To provide simulated intelligence collection and reporting through organic user communications and processors; to provide training for intelligence analysts, operators and collection managers; to provide training for commanders and staffs through the use of aggregated products not requiring additional intelligence analysts.
DESCRIPTION:
The TACSIM system is composed of a main simulator and several peripheral devices. These peripherals support computer-generated analysis, after-action reports, national collection systems and the Tactical Communications Support Processor. TACSIM is designed to operate at the Unclassified, Secret Releasable, Secret U.S. and Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security levels. TACSIM sensor models have been validated by the Army Material Systems Analysis Activity and are designed to simulate real-world sensor performance. The products produced by TACSIM emulate first-phase exploitation reports produced by real-world sensor pre-processors. TACSIM has two modes of operation, stand-alone and federated. In the stand-alone mode, TACSIM’s primary use is for intelligence training only. This allows intelligence staffs, sections and units to use scripted opposing force movement and activity to train their personnel on specific objectives. The most common method for training with TACSIM is in the Entity Resolution Federation (ERF) or Multi-Resolution Federation (MRF) mode.
